CONDITIONS FOR TESTING

MEASUREMENTS & CONDITIONS FOR TEST
•
Use a clean mouthpiece for each test.
•
The optimum temperature range for operating the unit
is -10°C to 50°C. Use within this temperature range will
limit condensation from the subject's breath and ensure
an accurate reading is taken.
•
Do not allow samples containing smoke, tobacco or
other chemical products to enter the unit, as damage to
the fuel cell can occur.
•
It is recommended that the operator observes
the subject for approximately 20 minutes before
administering the breath test. This is to ensure the
subject does not consume anything. Following this
procedure will ensure the subject's saliva is clear of
alcohol so that it does not alter the outcome of the
breath sample test.
•
There must be an interval of at least 15 minutes after
alcohol consumption as alcohol residue in the mouth
may give a false reading. Such residue may also be left
by aromatic drinks, mouthwash, medicines and drops,
as well as by belching and vomiting. Mouth rinsing with
water or non-alcoholic drinks does not substitute for an
interval.
•
A person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can
continue to rise for up to 2 hours after drinking alcohol.
If a caution results or a result is close to the designated
BAC, it is recommended to wait and retest after 20
minutes.
•
It can take 10 hours or more for a person's BAC to return
to zero after a high BAC has been reached. A further test
should be carried out later in the day or the following
morning.

The liability for proper functioning of the instrument is
irrevocably transferred to the owner or operator in the
event the instrument is serviced or repaired by personnel
not employed or authorised by Andatech. In such an event,
the warranty will be void.
